Oh. Yeah, of course. ^///^ I should’ve thought of that.

I don’t think anyone really invented it. Uke tab grew out of guitar tab, and guitar tab grew out of lute tab and so on for about 700 years.

I’d say the book is very similar in complexity. The song I have almost memorized is perhaps the easiest in the book. I have seen this book on eBay many times. Sometimes you’ll find much better prices on Amazon. 14 songs are Hawaiian judging by the names. There are a total of 22 songs.

There is some fun tablature on Brooke Adams page along with chorded tunes. Brooke likes to add some fun into his songs. He also has a bunch more songs under the Ukelaneys Songs. But you probably know all about this stuff.

Check out the song “Blackbird”

Also take a look at Mike DaSilva’s site under the Berkeley Ukulele club. Scroll down for our songs. Some good arrangements here and you will find “Hene” there too.

Thanks, Jeff. Glad you’re finding it useful.

I don’t have that book. It seems to be difficult to get in the UK. I’ve just checked, searching for the title gives you one result in the UK. I’m tempted to get it if it’s as good as his classical book.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have been learning “Hene” from John King’s book and he uses some real intense notation in his book “Famous Solos and Duets for the Ukulele” Your tutorials are very useful.
